‘It was frustrating trying every new diet’
Nisha mentioned the “realistic sacrifices” she made as she shared photos of herself before and after losing weight. In her caption she wrote: ‘When I weighed 96kg I hated the way I looked. I knew it was time to focus on my health. It was frustrating to try every new diet and intense workout with no results. I’ve been there, done that. But when I committed to losing 70 pounds, I made real, lasting changes—not extreme changes. And no, it wasn’t a quick-fix diet!”
Say no to late-night snacks and comfort foods
She then listed all the things she did for her drastic weight loss, writing, “Here’s what I gave up to make it happen: 1. Late night snacking: Sounds simple, but getting enough sleep was a game changer. I started turning off Netflix earlier to ensure my body could recover and burn fat efficiently. Even when I was hungry, I replaced it with a soothing tea to make a difference.”
Nisha added the second thing she sacrificed: “Comfort foods: I haven’t given up my favorite foods, but I have redefined comfort. Instead of sweet treats, I opted for nutritious alternatives like fruits, nuts, dates and dark chocolate that my body fuel and not disrupt my insulin levels.”
She also said, “3. Crash diets: I’ve tried quick fixes like fad diets, but I always regained the weight I lost. Because this diet leads to muscle loss, fatigue and nutritional imbalances. Instead, I took a balanced approach that nourished my body and supported long-term fat loss, without the serious side effects.”
‘Emotional and stress eating was a big challenge’
Nisha also spoke about the power of saying “no” and avoiding “mindless eating,” writing, “4. Saying ‘no’ more often: social gatherings were tough. I had to turn down the extra piece of cake or the late… But I realized it was okay to put my health goals first sometimes. Mindless eating: I learned to identify my triggers and developed healthier coping mechanisms, like journaling or taking a short walk. to deal with stress.”
Finally, she wrote: “6. Consistent, imperfect workouts: I didn’t train 7 days a week, but I showed up consistently. Even on days when I didn’t feel like it, I moved my body, whether it was a walk or yoga.”
